In 1920s Moscow, Count Alexander Rostov is condemned by a Bolshevik tribunal to live under house arrest in the luxurious Metropol Hotel. Accepting his fate with joy, Count Rostov interacts with the hotel staff, foreign diplomats, and the new leaders of Soviet Russia. His encounter with Nina, a nine-year-old girl, changes the course of his life. For three decades, the Count lives in the Metropol, a microcosm of the political events of the USSR. The story of his adventures pays homage to the Russian soul and culture.
